Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

When asked why she had a conflict with the third aunt, Yang Aihua, the second aunt suddenly envied the old sister-in-law beside her, who was always gentle and had little presence. The first aunt had no children in her life, which was both unfortunate and fortunate. Not having children has its own pain, and having children has its own worries and complaints about raising children.

The second aunt came through the hall and did not go to the backyard, but went to the first uncle's house. After entering the house, the first aunt poured her a glass of water, sat opposite her, and waited patiently for her to tell him what was on her mind.

"My eldest son, we have held him in our mouths for fear that he would melt, and in our hands for fear that he would fall since he was born. We dared not hit or scold him, and all his requests were met. But since we got married, he has been bewitched by his wife. First he moved away, then he didn't come back to see us. Now when we go to see him, he looks unhappy and thinks we are annoying. It's really a waste of time to raise him up. If I had known earlier, I would have treated the second and third children better."

The first aunt didn't say anything, but looked at the second aunt calmly, as if asking again: Doesn't this have anything to do with your conflict with the third aunt?

The second aunt drank a sip of water and said, "This morning, I went to find Guangqi again, wanting him to come home and see me. Do you know what he said? He said he didn't want to see his father beat people. He envied the warmth and affection of the Old Yan family, and liked that the Third Uncle never beat people. I wanted to ask him if he had ever been beaten, and if his father and I had ever laid a finger on him. He said no, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid. He was actually afraid, afraid of his father and me.

"Do you know why he moved out? Besides the housing allocated by the unit, there was also Yan Jiecheng's instigation. He told Yan Jiecheng that he was afraid of his father since he was a child. Yan Jiecheng told him to grow up quickly so that he could leave his parents and stay away from them. And now he ran away as soon as he grew up. I thought it was my daughter-in-law who instigated him at first, and I followed Yan Jiecheng for a long time. This bastard Yan Jiecheng moved out, and I couldn't catch him. I couldn't even catch the root of the problem. If it weren't for the Yan family, would they have corrupted my good son? Just wait and see, I will never be done with the Yan family!" After saying that, he took two more sips of water and looked at the aunt who had been listening attentively.

The second aunt suddenly said stupidly, "Sister-in-law, I really envy you right now. You don't have to worry about your children. I'm not like you, who is so annoyed by these bastards."

When the hurt auntie was about to curse, Yu Li brought Liu Yi in. Yu Li said to Liu Yi, "Go, find Grandma Yi." Then she said to the second auntie, "Second auntie, I just overheard a few words outside. I am not defending Yan Jiecheng. Think about it, Yan Jiecheng is so timid and calculating, would he give advice to others? And he gave advice to Guang Qi, who is so capable in your family?"

"Yu Li, what do you mean? Could it be that my Guangqi could wrongly accuse Yan Jiecheng? They have no grudge against each other."

"Whether he was wronged or not depends on Liu Guangqi. Your words don't count, and neither do my words. You also said that they had no grudges against each other, and that they really had nothing to do with each other. Can you recall whether they played together when they were young? Since Liu Guangqi said that Yan Jiecheng had comforted him, he would be closer to Yan Jiecheng to some extent, and the two would have played together when they were young. You should know something about this."

The second aunt recalled Liu Guangqi's past, with a proud expression on her face, and then slowly became calm. Finally, she looked at Yu Li in confusion and asked, "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why did he lie and wrongly accuse Yan Jiecheng?"

"I don't know about that either. But I know that he is really afraid of the Second Uncle. Not to mention him, even I was afraid every time I heard the Second Uncle beat the Guangtian and Guangfu brothers. It felt like he was not beating his own sons, but beating his mortal enemy to death. However, I know that he is your own son, so when I first entered the yard, every time I saw the Second Uncle, I would be inexplicably afraid, afraid that he would suddenly attack and hurt people."

"Old Liu wouldn't do that. He just wants to teach Guangtian Guangfu a lesson, fearing that they might go astray. He never hits outsiders." Second Aunt didn't want others to think that Second Uncle was a rough guy who hit anyone he saw, so she kept waving her hands to explain for Second Uncle.

Yu Li said gently, "I know he is not. But there should be a limit to how you discipline your children. If you beat them every time, everyone in the hospital will know about it. It's not good for the two brothers. They are grown up, and they need to save face."

After hearing what Yu Li said, the second aunt asked, "If Lao Liu hadn't beaten Guangtian and Guangfu, would Guangqi not be afraid and would he be able to come back?"

"I don't know that. I'm not Liu Guangqi, so how can I know his true thoughts?"

"Then what you said is in vain." The second aunt thought that Yu Li's words could win back her eldest son, but when she got an uncertain answer, she went home unsatisfied.

Yu Li asked the auntie who had been calmed down by Liu Yi, "Are Guangtian and Guangfu really the sons of the second uncle and auntie?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Seriously, we saw her getting pregnant and giving birth, and I even helped deliver the baby."

"Then why do the three brothers treat each other so differently? If outsiders hear this, they will definitely think Guangtian and Guangfu were picked up."

"I'd like to pick up a big fat boy, but where can I find one?"

"Isn't it in your arms?"

When the second aunt got home, she told the second uncle what Yu Li had just said.

The second uncle didn't take it seriously and said, "I beat Guangtian and Guangfu because they were filial sons. Look at how sneaky they are. If I don't teach them a lesson, they might become even bigger idiots. Give them some face. It's useless for them to ask for it. The most useful thing is for them to listen to me honestly."

"Guangqi said he was afraid of you, what should we do?"

"This brat Liu Guangqi must have been bewitched by his wife. He is a typical guy who forgets his mother after getting a wife. When he suffers a loss at the hands of his wife, he will think of our kindness and will naturally come back then." The second uncle was very confident.

"You mean we just sit there and do nothing?"

"What can you do? He won't come back. If you go, he will bother you. Let's just wait."

Liu Guangqi said to Cen Lanfang, who was pregnant, "My mother came again today. I feel she is still too close. They can come anytime they want and can disrupt our lives and may affect the baby."

"But as long as we live in the capital, they can come anytime wherever we move to. Do we have to move to another place?"

"Yes, out of town is a good choice. If they go out of town, they can't just go whenever they want."

"You are really crazy. We are in a foreign land where we don't know anyone. Who can we rely on if something happens? Don't let your imagination run wild. They are your parents, not monsters."
